ahi-salad-prep1Ingredients (serves 2):

1. 2 tablespoons of Japanese Miso dressing

2. Sesame seeds

3. 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

4. 3 massive handfuls of spring mix greens

5. 2 ahi TUNA steaks

6. 1 handful or pistachios

7. 1 large handful of cherry tomatoes

8. 8 strawberries cut into 1/8 thick slices

9. 2 green onions chopped coarsely

10. 1 small handful or cilantro chopped coarsely

11. ½ lemon worth of juice

12. 1 tablespoon of olive oil (not pictured)

Step 1

Create a marinade for the ahi tuna by mixing up the cilantro, green onions, soy sauce and lemon in a bowl.  Place the tuna steaks in and allow the flavor to soak in (approx 15 minutes).


Step 2

Warm the olive oil in a pan on high heat.  Dip each side of the marinated tuna steaks into a bowl full of sesame seeds.  Drop them into a pan and sear each side (approx 2 minutes per side), making sure the middle remains a reddish-pink.  Cut into strips and set aside.


Step 3

Combine the lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, pistachios and seared ahi in a mixing bowl.  Pour in the Miso dressing and squeeze more lemon over mixture and toss that salad like a champ.


You have yourself the perfect lunch date meal or a killer starter.
